2010 Academy Awards In-Game Thread

• End of Line

  

  I was shocked that Mo'Nique won.
• El Jefe Grande

  They just sneak dissed Sarah Jessica Parker.
• End of Line

  

  Dear lord she's ugly.
• End of Line

  

  I have a feeling that "Precious" is going to win best picture, I hope not.
• Upper90

  Is anyone that actually watched the performance shocked that Mo'Nique won?
  
  I mean, her resume is terrible, but that was a VERY worthy performance.
• raiderbuck

  ^^no kidding. I can't stand Mo'Nique on her late night show, or in general (lol), but that was a very powerful performance.
• chief_wigam

  SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!!!!! God I hate that woman!!!!!!! Just looking at her makes me angry and her annoying voice makes me vomit!! I can't believe that fat slob is now an academy award winner.
• Stiffman

  

  You need a life and some butt drugs!

  With a name like Mauro Fiore I did not expect him to sound so American.
• Manhattan Buckeye

  Mediocre show so far - I guess the lack of drama in the announced winners is partially to blame. The memory segment wasn't great with the technical difficulties at the beginning and a ho hum James Taylor song. I'm surprised Brittany Murphy got so little response, given her work in Girl Interrupted and Sin City.
• Upper90

  Not a fan of Mo'Nique either, but.....she deserved it. Every now and then, a blind squirrel does.....something.
• krambman

  

  These dancers are insane!

  I was more surprised by how little reaction Michael Jackson got.

  Brittany Murphy wasn't in Girl, Interrupted.

  Time for the "big" awards.

  I didn't see Farrah Fawcett in the memorial segment.
  
  Did I miss it? Or did Farrah get the shaft?

  "I was more surprised by how little reaction Michael Jackson got."
  
  I was surprised as well, I chalk it up to how poorly the segment was, with Demi Moore being the introduction Swayze was understandably going to be either the first or last entry, but other than that it seemed random. Compared to previous years it might not have a been a big memorium (Paul Newman, Heath Ledger) but it could have been better.
  
  Wildcats20, Murphy played Daisy, the (likely) sexually abused girl that hung herself in the film. With the make-up and wardrobe she looked nothing like herself in real life.
• krambman

  

  Did they really need to nominate anyone besides Avatar for Visual Effects? That movie basically reinvented visual effects. The things they did in that film will be the norm in movie making for the next 20 years.

  You're right, she just isn't listed anywhere on the movie jacket. I saw it a few years ago, forgot she was in it.

  If it was there I didn't catch it, which again is lame if it indeed wasn't part of the memorium. I know she was 95% a tv show actress/model, but she did do an Altman film (Dr. T) and was in The Apostle. IMO that should have been recognized.

  If ANYBODY but Sandra Bullock wins Best Actress,it's a fucking joke
  
  Also....if Avatar wins Best Picture...I'm going to throw my laptop againist the fucking wall
  
  
  I think Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have done a really good job hosting

  I don't think I have ever agreed with anything you have said on this site...You don't think the girl from Precious should win?
• Non

  

  Fisher Stevens is the guy from Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2
  
  Talked stranger in those movies.
  
  He produced the best documentary.
• Non

  

  I also thought the tribute segment was poorly done.
  
  They could've shown longer and more individualized clips from their movies.

  She was also in The Cannonball Run. I think she was in Man of the House as well. But I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid and I don't remember off hand. She definitely should have been recognized.

  I agree. The skit where they parodied Paranormal Activity was hilarious!
